Over the next four weeks (Sept. 15 – Oct. 15), we will be honoring our game's Hispanic Heritage and the role players with Latin American roots have played in shaping the way the game has evolved.

Dating as far back as 1878 when the first Cuban baseball league held its inaugural game and up through the days of the Alou brothers, the Alomars and the legendary Roberto Clemente in the ‘60s and ‘70s, Major League Baseball has been profoundly and positively affected by the great players who have introduced the Latin baseball culture.

Today, Major League Baseball is filled with stars of Hispanic Heritage, from the United States and Latin American countries, and our game is better because of the fun, flair and skills they bring to our ballparks every night.
